Children Are A Treasure From The Lord

Halls ring with echoes of laughter

Long after they've come and gone

For the memory of a tiny face and playful grin

Still brings a smile, reminding us again

That children are a treasure from the Lord

Songs sweetly sung by the cradle

Prayers whispered just before bed

And we taught them "Jesus loves you" in a simple song

And we pray they won't forget their whole life long

Children are a treasure from the Lord

Those bright and trusting eyes

Seem to take us by surprise

And they see what others older seem to miss

May the gift of faith they hold

Grow as they grow old

May they always know God will never let them go

At six they're beginning their school days

Sixteen and they're driving the car

And at twenty-one we'll let them go on their first date

But of course they'll be at home in bed by eight

Yes, children are a treasure from the Lord

Homes ring with echoes of laughter

Long after they've come and gone

And just knowing that our children really love the Lord

Is a faithful parent's passion and reward

Yes, children are a treasure from the Lord

Children are a treasure from the Lord

Yes, children are a treasure from the Lord
